cowboy cookie returns?

Or Brennan isn’t coming.

That’s explains why it’s dull & overcast outside. 😂

Pulling the dirt back from the fence would be a start. It surely can’t that difficult?

A reserve pairing & the return of Emil is great news I was always hopeful he would be back but nervous that he wouldn’t be. Doyle appears nailed on & hopefully Rew will return too. Now the King or Ellis debate. I’m definitely in the retain Ellis release King camp. I know that’s not popular with a lot however my reasoning is as follows. If King returns than that would certainly see him also retain the captains arm band & for me I don’t think he is skipper material. King can’t team ride for toffee & doesn’t support his team mates on track. The difference in bonus points scored last season between King & Ellis illustrates that. king is only going one way now & that decline will continue. Far to many times over the last couple of seasons King has been on the wrong end of heat advantages & losing out to riders he should be beating at home. Also throwing away points by riding the wrong lines & getting into trouble Ellis gives a little more in terms of team riding & does still have some improvement left in him. Ellis is the side would also see Doyle as captain & that can only be a good thing. My thoughts

Will we find out the whole line up this week?

I’m one of the ones who thinks that there needs to be a parting of ways for many reasons, I’ve thought that for the last 2 seasons. While I agree there isn’t much between King & Ellis I’d still have Ellis. The biggest issue with King staying is that he’d be skipper again & he isn’t skipper material.

Hopefully not King, the guys needs to move on.

Anyone here going to the end of season dinner tonight? If you hear anything interesting be sure to share on here, hopefully Emil is there too.

We all know a rider will ride where they want to & in most cases that’s who offers the most. Rew will gain more being at Foxhall again in 25 alongside Doyle & Emil….but who knows what will happen. hopefully Louis can get him signed up.

Sounds promising then.

I hope that you’re right regarding the top two. Doyle I think was agreed before the season ended, Emil I’m not so sure about I know the fans all want that to happen again however it didn’t seem a certainty a few weeks ago.

I think your right there, he came across as a full time witch during the play offs.

Sounds rather bitter, I’ll pass you the lemons!

Emil has signed a 2 year extension at Torún

I’m praying it’s Brennan for King to be honest. King to Brum or Lynn

Spot on, it’s quite funny all the ‘experts’ on here who said Jenkins wouldn’t be at Ipswich 😂

Doyle reassessed to 8.50 due to missing most of the season though injury. All in the interest of speedway & commercial reasons

Things must be decided as Harris has signed 2 contracts for next year. One of those could be abroad as he had 3 club contracts last season but the other one will be in the uk so would indicate that the set up is already known.

Leicester missing their number 8 who was the star of the semi final for them.

One big league worked in the 90s but it wouldn’t work now. There aren’t enough riders to staff all the teams & even if they could somehow find it the strength would be lower than the current championship & the standard of racing would be awful because of the gulf in rider standard. All that while trying to charge the same if not more than current championship admission at least. I can’t see the premiership clubs lowering the cost of admission enough to reflect the lower standard. it would lead to decreasing attendances all over & a race to the bottom to see which club is the last standing.

Is Jenkins a rising star? He wasn’t in 2024 having moved out of the scheme. or am I missing something? This discount was applied for Tom Brennan (Belle Vue) this year and will apply to Jordan Jenkins (Ipswich) and Drew Kemp (Leicester) in 2024, both of whom have moved out of the Rising Star

Oh please no 😀

Hopefully it is a 40 point limit if not we’ll have to look elsewhere for a king replacement

Brennan for King

That’s far too weak at the bottom end. Far better of with Ellis & Rew in the middle order.
